Poineer DEH8400 . . .

Anyone have this deck?

I have it and it's great except that my FM reception sucks.
I get some stations clearly, but my factory deck got all of them clear.

Anyone know what I should do?
Could it be an install problem?
The Installer said that sometimes this happens with aftermarket decks.

I just bought that deck and my FM seems to work just fine. Maybe it is a wiring problem.

Is your display easy to read? I have trouble reading mine since it tilts up towards the roof of the car because of the way the dash is made. I was wondering if there was maybe a different kit i could buy so that it would fit better and maybe tilt down so i could read it. Please let me know what ya think.

It's a b!tch to read during the day because of the angle.
I'm pretty sure there's not kit that changes the angle.
You'll have to do a custom job.
